Incidentally, Indian and Pakistan cricket teams haven’t played a bilateral series in over a decade. They last clashed in a tournament when Pakistan visited India in 2012-13. Since then, they have only played together in ICC multi-team events like World Cup, Asia Cup, and Champions Trophy. Even now, in the upcoming Champions Trophy to be conducted in Pakistan, India would be playing its matches in a neutral venue in Dubai.
